From the University of Missouri-Kansas City University News: 5 September 2018 by Caleb Wilson.

“UMKC’s own graduate teaching assistant Seán Kane hosted one of these presentations. He spoke about the presence of Irish immigrants in major league baseball in the early 20th century. His second year presenting at KC Irish Fest, Kane offered the audience a small glimpse into a larger research project he is conducting.

Like many others in Kansas City, Kane shared a personal connection to this festival. His great-grandparents immigrated from Ireland to the United States in the early 1900s.”
